How do I put these back?

Turn off mains power at your fuseboard or consumer unit. Remove the white cover by unscrewing it from the base of the ceiling rose. You will see two holes in the base for fixing screws ,and the base gets screwed to the joist in the ceiling. Be very careful not to damage the cables when putting screws in ,and ensure both screws go into the timber joist ( you should be able to see the timber through the hole in the ceiling)

At least they didn’t plaster up to it

Not sure if you read terrymac’s post, but he outlined what you need to do. The two cables to the ceiling rose you can just carefully push into the hole.

Yes. Terrymac has told you what to do. If there’s no joist then use plaster board fixings.
Thanks - patchy wifi here - I didn't see your post!
Sorry - planning on doing these this weekend - do I need rawl plugs or just longish screws? Thanks!I don't know whether this helps. The ceiling rose should be in 2 parts which unscrew from each other. One part is fastened to the ceiling and other screws back over it.

Depends on what is above the plasterboard. If there is a joist or wooden backing board then a suitable 4mm screw in each hole, if there is no timber then you need plasterboard fixings, on maybe one of each.
You are also complaining about a plasterer, and asking how to refit an electrical fitting in a plumber's forum. . .*** - I hate DIY

Don't do it then. Call the plasterer back. Have you paid him/her?*** - I hate DIY
